We are going to name our peanut Keely Gracyn if it is a girl. What do you think of it? Spelling? And how would you pronounce it.TIA!

BethPSU · January 2013

It is really NMS. It seems cutesy and made up. I would pronounce it Keel (like heel) y.

Mochadoodle · January 2013

Keely is NMS, but I've heard worse. Gracyn is AWFUL. I pronounce it exactly as it's spelled.

Please, go with Keely Grace. It's 100% better, IMO.

HollyWollie · January 2013

WOW! Thanks for your honesty but we really do like it. It isn't MUD.

magsugar13 · January 2013

Its horrendous

BlueRidge8 · January 2013

Keely doesn't bother me much, though it's not my style. Gracyn is terrible.

MrsWindyCity · January 2013

It's...bad.

MrsJ723 · January 2013

Both names are nms.

Emmakins87 · January 2013

Its just sounds like its trying too hard.

CelticWife · January 2013

Keely is cute, but I can't imagine a grown woman with the name.

I would do something like Grace for the mn.

almostjennifer · January 2013

I like Keely, Gracyn -- no.

HollyWollie · January 2013

Alright ... So if we went with something more traditional for a middle name would that help? Like Elizabeth or Olivia. I have been in love with Keely since being pregnant with DS. I may have to rethink everything after this but thanks for your honesty.

I do like Keely, but Gracyn is dreadful. Keely Grace is nice, as Keely Elizabeth, Keely Olivia, etc.

bsinno · January 2013

i dont like it at all.

Kelly Grace

knottie99d9550b0a0a31af · January 2013

Although its NMS I think it's a perfectly fine name. Keely is not bad, and Gracyn is in the MN spot so if you and your DH like it, use it.

Keri Marie · January 2013

Looks like Kelly misspelled.

MrsMcC.10409 · January 2013

I think most of the people who don't like Keely are just unfamiliar with it. IMO, it's a perfectly acceptable name. Gracyn is NMS, I think Grace or Elizabeth are much better to pair up with Keely.

BrittRN+ · January 2013

Keely is nms, but fine. Gracyn is bad.

doremi29 · January 2013

As a teacher, I am always mixing up my Keely/Kylie/Kaylie's and I have heard many other teachers in the building saying the wrong one to the wrong kid. Just a thought- it's just a hard one to remember when you have a lot of kids so those poor girls are always correcting us.

NatnDyl · January 2013

I like Keely, don't like Gracyn.

You'd be wrong

I agree

kleigh926 · January 2013

Don't like Keely at all. I can't imagine it on a grown woman, and there are too many long "ee" sounds. It's awkward to say.

Gracyn is terrible with the y. Use Gracen, or just Grace.

jallascalla · January 2013

You are right on trend with the cutsie "K" name and a random "y" in the middle name, just be aware that it will be very dated when she is older.

I agree that Keely sounds a lot like Kaylee, Kylee, Kayla, it is not my style. I also think it sound very juvenile, so maybe cute on a toddler, but it doesn't seem like a name that ages well.

jenheartsmonsters · January 2013

Whoa, the authority some posters presume is ... off-putting.

I'm guessing Keely would rhyme with "wheelie" and "Gracyn" is pronounced like "Grayson" would be. Keely is a lovely and strong-sounding name. Gracyn is not my personal style, but I can appreciate how it balances with the first name.

Good luck!

Yes

Mrs.G123 · January 2013

Don't do it.

TristaD81 · January 2013

I sort of like Keely. I knew a very pretty girl growing up with that name. NMS, but not as bad as some people are making it out to be. Gracyn on the other hand, is not good.

MiaMyPuggle · January 2013

I feel bad for OP! Prob broke her heart. Since its no one else's child, go with it! Greycin was a girls name on my list, but my BFF was planning on naming her son Grayson. So, I squashed it. son was male to me. Keely is different, but cute. Go with what makes YOU happy.

This!

tdenen · January 2013

I went to high school with a Keely. Always liked her name, so I'm a fan. While I do like Keely Grace a little better, as a middle name Gracyn doesn't bother me too much, especially if there are some family ties.

kmpls · January 2013

Love Keely!

Good luck!

guilletskichuk · January 2013

I don't mind it but I prefer it to be spelled Kealey. I know a Keely IRL who is a pre-teen and a Kealey who is in her 30s. I guess I can picture it on an grown female because I met Kealey when she was in her mid-20s and was a very professional and admirable teacher.

I would pronounce it as Kee-lee. Not sure how else you would pronounce it.

I prefer a more traditional mn to go with it though. Grace is nice (as are the other suggestions PPs gave).

913mom · January 2013

I think that she might have trouble all her life with people pronouncing her name wrong. Keely rymes with "heely" Kinda looks made up but maybe just NMS
